More details on Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western

Might Quentin Tarantino's new western be going by the name of The Hateful Eight?

It now looks certain that Quentin Tarantino will be following up on his plan to make another western his next film. Following the huge success of Django Unchained, the writer/director/not actor had revealed towards the end of last year that he intended to make another, and a few details of what he has planned next have come to light.

The new film is reportedly called The Hateful Eight (although that's the working title right now), and the plan is apparently to go before the cameras this coming summer. Christoph Waltz is set to reunite with Tarantino for a third time too, and according to one report, Nebraska's Bruce Dern is also on Tarantino's radar.

The Hateful Eight? Might that be a nod in there somewhere to The Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai? Just a (fairly obvious) thought...

We'll keep you posted as we hear more. News of a new, high profile western is always welcome, not least when Mr Tarantino is at the helm...
